      lol I knew there would be a lot of jealous ladies here. I have the same condition and have plenty of ladies comment on it and be extremely jealous at the same time

      I have this too! I’m not sure if my siblings have it as I didn’t check-but the thing about the lashes poking your eyes is annoying and happens time to time. Can’t complain though 🙂 you have pretty eyelashes .

    3. That’s just disgusting and I hate you! Do you have **ANY** idea how difficult it is to put mascara on and even **try** to have eyelashes like you have, with *no effort?* Life’s *just not fair!*

    4. So many people would die for these lol. You gotta see the market for eyelash extensions

      Does it feel uncomfortable or anything? I have long eyelashes and they’ll get inside my eye often (only happens to my right eye for some weird reason)

      Ok this is weird. I just saw the autopsy tv show about Elizabeth Taylor and the doctor mentioned she had LDS: Lymphedema-Distichiasis syndrome, which is an inherited condition from a mutation in the FOXC2 protein. He noted she had ‘double eyelashes’. You might want to talk to a doctor because this condition is strongly linked to venous valve failure.

    6. Why is it that it’s always the straight men who don’t understand the value of luscious lashes that have the longest, thickest, naturally curled up lashes?

    7. Oh sorry, did you say something? I was too busy staring at those GORGEOUS peepers you’ve got there
